January 2012 Running - Snow, stay away!

[skhill]

The snow did a remarkable job of staying away this January-- we've had a few flurries, but I haven't had to break out the shovel yet.

I wrapped up the month with some speedwork. Intervals this time. I didn't actually go much faster for them, I just tried to maintain my speed going into a 20 mph headwind. Yuck. Just 4.5 miles, and I'm feeling it (as well as yesterday's hip-intensive yoga class).

Thanks all!

V., way to go with your mileage goal. Kat, great work (and +1 on the one-second recording for twisty trail runs, if they're not so long that your battery might go down too quickly). Selkie, you're very welcome - glad my Chi Running evangelism is helping you (although everything I know about trigger points I learned from the wise women on TE before me ) Indy, glad you're starting to feel better. That foam roller masochism does pay off, doesn't it? Yellow - just wow.

And now back to my regularly scheduled marathon training. Well, sorta - I really need to start pushing the mileage again, it feels like forever, and I'm less than three months out now. But other commitments have been getting in the way early this week - so I did not quite 8 on Sunday and 14.5 today. Hopefully I'll be able to get a longer one in this weekend.
